Deadlines nearing for scholarships

Deadlines for three Indiana Farm Bureau Scholarship applications are quickly approaching.

The Foundation Scholarship application is due Tuesday to the Farm Bureau Women's Leader, Beth Evans, or it can be turned into the local Farm Bureau office. One $500 scholarship will be awarded in each district.

Eligible applicants must be over 17 years of age and from a family who has been a member of Indiana Farm Bureau for a period of two or more years prior to application. Additionally, the person must be a high school graduate, admitted to an approved or accredited school of higher learning and planning to study a minimum of one year as a full-time student in an agriculture-related major.

Applications for the Stackhouse Scholarship are due Monday.

Applications must be sent to the home office by the deadline. This scholarship may be used for a workshop, seminar, credit, or noncredit class or degree program in an agricultural area. One applicant may be awarded the full $1,000 scholarship, or it may be divided among several applications.

Any Indiana Farm Bureau family member is eligible.

Career Enrichment Scholarship application deadline is Tuesday. Applications need to be returned to the organizational team at the Indiana Farm Bureau home office. This application is awarded to adults, 21 years or older. The scholarship may be used for a workshop, seminar, credit or non-credit class or degree program.
